- Comment on I finished Mina the Hollower 100%! (Plus short review) 1 hour ago:
The black hole sections just aren’t fun, I think the Orrery was fine outside of the sections that force you to work around using black holes. Like the experience was night and day, every other section was a cakewalk until black holes. The cultists were fun, but then the final boss of the area you sort of just hit it til it dies.
The manor I’m having major difficulties simply remembering, the garden shortcut (the one that requires you to carry a statue head and jump on moving platforms while hitting switches) was so distinctly not fun that it almost made me quit the game. The shadow section with the lightning rods felt very cheap. The first half of the final boss being simon says and the second half having the tower minigame setting… idk it just did not hit for me.
I did genuinely enjoy the game up until the Orrery, though.
- Comment on I finished Mina the Hollower 100%! (Plus short review) 1 hour ago:
I think Mina was great, right up until the Orrery. It seems clear to me that they needed 6 more months to polish, considering the sections that actually made it through.
Fun game, until it isn’t — and the final boss is a distinct meh.

Gallagher won based on district lines drawn in 2024, before the whole redistricting push. His district is specifically one looked at to be carved up.
So idk about turning red, though I’m sure some crazy propaganda dissonance is going on in California depending on how you lean. I think it’s more likely that we’ll just end up with blue maga in power, which god only knows what that will look like.

Which part? Me claiming that him winning the influencer lottery doesn’t seem random, or him working for Night Media?
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 3 days ago:
Hasan’s platform is Twitch and he’s largely built up his following by doing the same influencer circuit as everyone else.
I don’t think this is correct, both Hasan and Asmongold are a part of Night Media and I’ve seen no attempt by Hasan to leave. Hasan is also weirdly kiddy-gloved when talking about Asmongold, at least it was like this in the past.

You’re free to do so, I did state it was an unpopular opinion.

My dad was a drunk and made sure I learned every racist term in the book before I was 12. I’m sure he’d be devastated if I managed to kill myself, without ever realizing how much he contributed to the desire in the first place.
My life has only gotten better since he died. Rest in piss old man, I’m glad you’re dead.

I gotta drop an unpoplar opinion. I think that if anyone believes that a selfie is for them and not the person who took it — they fundamentally do not understand selfies.
Let me ask it this way - what kind of person takes a dick pick? What kind of person takes selfies in the first place?
In my experience it is usually people with low self esteem or people with way way way too much self esteem. The answer for both of these people is touch grass and take less selfies. Look at the sky and clouds some more. Be present as opposed to… whatever the fuck is making you obsessed with how you look.

Richer, the answer is richer. You can’t become billions of dollars in debt without spending someone else’s money, right? Otherwise what even is the debt?

I can’t find much information on B. McGraw — does anyone have more information on them? I think it would be interesting to look at what else they’ve done.

I have acne on my face right now, I’m 32. I’m not, like, a pepperoni pizza but I had a few break out over the past week.
I don’t drink soda, I eat healthy, I don’t work out as much as I should but I’m not unfit. Acne just happens to some people dude, that’s why Accutane is a very well known product.

It lost it long before then, truth be told — it’s not like Bungie suddenly started making bad decisions in 2025.

So we got grifted by Bungie and need you to buy consoles, guys.
Bungie convincing Sony that they were worth 3.6 billion dollars is the grift of the decade. Sony either did no research or they really are the dumbest, most gullible motherfuckers on the planet.

- Comment on That kid was the WORST 3 weeks ago:
So, I don’t know if there’s some kind of psychological phenomenon at play here — but it sounds like something very similar to a circumstance my mom went through (albeit, the stakes were much different).
She used to smoke, and when she decided she wanted to have a kid (eventually me) she gave it up. What she told herself was that if she quit and wanted to start back up at 65, ok? Who cares, she’s already old at that point so it’s not like it’s worse than having smoked for the previous 45 years.
Eventually never went back to them. She is actually repulsed by cigarettes now.
I think what I take from that is my mom didn’t really give up cigarettes, at least not psychologically. In her mind she could go back at any time and there was no issue, she’d just go back to not smoking (and she didn’t even do that, she just quit). I wonder if maybe a similar thing happened to you here? You gave yourself a goal so far ahead in the future that you also gave yourself ample time to grow — even if that goal was inevitably death. It’s almost like sewerslide was your way of equalizing the playing field.
Idk, I could be wrong — I’m glad you didn’t, though.

This strain is spread by close, intimate contact. Keep mice and rats out of your home, clean up their poop with a wet paper towel if you find it. This will help prevent poop dust from being kicked up, which is how the virus is typically transmitted.
Yes Hantavirus is scary. You can pretty effectively protect yourself, and if you walk in somewhere and happen to spot mice poop just chillin — politely inform whoever is living with mice about what I just told you and leave.

- Comment on How do I drink more water? 1 month ago:
I can find sources but for one thing, aspartame has been looked at for years as a carcinogen, 4-MEI (caramel coloring) is also a carcinogen, articles like this one point to sucralose being quite bad for you in many different ways.
If your sugar free soda contains caffeine then it can actually contribute to hydration loss, this is because caffeine is a dieuretic (something that increases urine production and removes extra salt and water from the body).
Plus the simple logic is: sugar free soda cannot be almost identical to plain water because of the sheer amount of additives. You will always be better off health-wise drinking clean water.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 1 month ago:
I think if you look at in isolation, sure, much like beer in a survival situation. Sugar free soda is still linked with things like higher blood pressure, diabetes — which, to me, sounds like you’re just better off drinking water.
